NB: This is not Malcolm McDowell

Bethesda have announced the voice cast for The Elder Scrolls Online, and it's a list of vocal talent that contains more than a few surprises. The biggest, of course, is the absence of Nolan North, who thanks to a necromantic blood pact involving a lesser demon and Cam Clarke, is now contractually obliged to appear in every game. Luckily, Bethesda
are
using Jennifer Hale, which should go some way to restoring the mystic balance of mandatory game voice performers.

Elsewhere, the Elder Scrolls MMO has secured some Big Names™, Bethesda seemingly having poured money through the letterboxes of some recognisable figures. Celebritalkers set to show up in this online Tamriel include John Cleese, Bill Nighy, Kate Beckinsale, Michael Gambon and Malcolm McDowell.

What are these actors doing? Fantasy stuff, basically. Cleese will play Cadwell, an "endearingly mad lost soul". Meanwhile, Bill Nighy is a merchant prince, Kate Beckinsale is queen of the Aldmeri Dominion, and Michael Gambon is a blind prophet. Then there's Malcolm McDowell, who's playing the infamous daedric jerkbag Molag Bal.

Here's a video highlighting some of these people. Because, if you're going to spend that much on voice actors, you're sure as hell going to get a featurette out of it.
